Life’s Lightning-Bolt Moments (Lucy Kalanithi, MD)

from Pulling The Thread with Elise Loehnen · host Elise Loehnen

Lucy Kalanithi, MD, continues to instill hope in me. Today, she shares lessons from her life and her work as a primary care physician (she’s also Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University)—along with reflections on the legacy of her husband Paul Kalanithi, MD, who wrote the now canonical memoir When Breath Becomes Air before his death in 2015.    For the show notes, head to my Substack.
